Graft body raps 4,900 for funds misuse

Communist Party of China (CPC)’s top anti-graft body announced on Sunday that over 4,900 officials were reprimanded for violating austerity rules in October, bringing the total punished this year to 36,600.

The officials punished last month, including two provincial and ministerial level officials, were implicated in over 3,800 cases, about a fourth of which involved unapproved use of public vehicles, the CPC Central Commission for Discipline Inspection (CCDI) said in a routine report on its website.

Unauthorized allowances and subsidies, lavish weddings and funerals as well as illicit gift giving and receiving were included in violations.
